Recently, I came across a monthly "best vocalist" competition held by an alleged industry veteran. That month's winner was very obviously using Autotune (and in a genre that would not normally feature it).

I wrote the industry veteran, and asked how could a "best vocalist" win go to an entry that used Autotune?

The veteran's answer was pretty short: "everybody's using it".

My respect for the veteran vanished completely.

In any case, I felt that Autotune was not needed at all by the winner, since the singer could clearly sing quite well. What a sad competition.
